Jackie In L.R.,

There is no error, nothing to worry about - they're warning messages generated by the SQL Tracing commands that must be active for your program.

Your PRINT statement gets translated to a SQL SELECT statement without a GROUP BY. If you had a SUM, it would get translated to a SQL SELECT statement with a GROUP BY.

Cheers,

....but I am getting a -104 SQL code, and am not getting any output....?? I added the tracing stmts to try to figure out why I was getting the -104.

Thanks for your help Francis.

Jackie

Jackie,

Sorry about that, I didn't notice the -104 error.

Did you type the Master or was it generated by the WebFOCUS synonym generator?

There's something wrong with the Master, you don't have the database table column name alias tag. Something like this:

FILE=BASEL_AC_APPL_FORM, SUFFIX=DB2     ,$                                      
SEGNAME=BASEL_AC_APPL_FORM,                                                     
SEGTYPE=S0 ,$                                                                   
FIELD=APPL_DIM_KEY                        ,APPL_DIM_KEY,                        
I11         ,I4          ,MISSING=OFF,$                                         
FIELD=AC_PROP_INS_CD                      ,AC_PROP_INS_CD,                      
A10         ,A10         ,MISSING=OFF,$                                         

FIELD is the WebFOCUS field name and can be anything, but is usually the database table column name.

The second mention of the field name is the ALIAS or database table column name and has to exactly match the database table.

The SQL generated by WebFOCUS does not specify the database column names:

SELECT T1."",T1."",T1."",T1."",T1."",T1."",T1."" FROM JACKIE.FREESHIP T1 FOR FETCH ONLY; 

because the Master does not have the ALIAS mentioned. Your Master should look something like this:

FILENAME=FREESHPT, SUFFIX=DB2 , $
SEGMENT=FREESHPT, SEGTYPE=S0, $
FIELDNAME=ORDER_ID, ORDER_ID, USAGE=P11, ACTUAL=P6, $
FIELDNAME=PRODUCT_TOTAL, PRODUCT_TOTAL, USAGE=P22.5, ACTUAL=P11, MISSING=ON,$

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this. I figured it had something to do with the MFD, but was confused. The original MFD was created by WebFocus synonym generator, then I tried to make it more readable. I have now learned my lesson, leave well enough alone!

I have regenerated the MFD, and the procedure seems to be working. I am especially proud of this one as it is calling a Cobol program which is then calling a DB2 stored procedure.

Thanks again,
Jackie

P.S. I thought the alias was optional in the MFD. I've learned several things today!

Jackie

Jackie,

The alias is only optional for non-relational masters. For relational masters, as Francis said, the alias is used to construct the SQL statement. And masters generated by the synonym generator or from the Web Console should NEVER be modified by hand. As you found out, this could generate a world of hurt.

Also please update your signature with your product suite, releases, and platforms. That allows us to adjust our answers based on what release you are running.

And since you are doing COBOL to DB2, there is a recent post about executing a 3GL from WebFOCUS. Maybe you could offer the guy a suggestion that would work for him. The post is fairly new. Check it out.

Jackie,

I never touch the Master after it has been generated.

By the way, we would appreciate you updating your forum signature, available here:

"Please fill out your WebFOCUS release, OS/Platform, and expected Output format(s)"

Thanks,

Will do....I haven't posted in years and didn't check my signature.

Jackie

"I haven't posted in years"? You'll soon learn you can't live without FocalPoint!

Thanks Prarie it works fine.
